Stats

The first half of Tactical Squad Amosis, for my pre-Heresy Thousand Sons army. They're just basic marines from one of the paint set starter boxes, with the Ultramarines symbol scraped off the left shoulderpads.

See if you can spot the small bits of greenstuffing I did on these.

I think I need to use coloured backdrops when photographing pre-Heresy models. Their white trim and snow bases tend to blend in with the background otherwise.

And yeah, I know they're the wrong armour - I admit it bugs me a bit, but I try not to let it, heh. I desperately need game-ready troops choices that don't cost 23 points a model. XD

As far as I know, the Sons were actually in MkIV by the time of the Heresy, at least according to most the GW artwork and models I've seen. Got some MkIV armour from Forgeworld waiting for me to customise and paint. XD This was more just a combination of test run for the painting and getting a usable troops choice ready.

Thanks for the suggestion! But eh, I honestly couldn't be bothered modifying basic starter set models. XD Like I said, they were mostly just a colour test and to help supplement my troops choices for game.

Also, I think you're thinking of the MK V armour there - the MK IV didn't have the studs you're talking about.
